2 minutes

This audio tour features highlights from the American Masters exhibition, drawn exclusively from the Gallery's outstanding collection of American art, and celebrating that nation's artists from the 1940s to the 1980s. From Abstract Expressionism, Colour Field, Pop, Neo-Dada and Photo-Realism, to Conceptual, Land and Performance Art, American Masters examines how a generation of young Americans, inspired by European émigrés, challenged local traditions and reinvented modern art.
